Tenure -Track Faculty
Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT)
Cambridge, MA
Multiple Positions
The Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences (BCS) ( http://bcs.mit.edu ), in collaboration with the McGovern Institute for Brain Research (MIBR) and the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory (PILM) at MIT are looking to hire multiple tenure-track faculty at the assistant professor level or higher. We strongly encourage applications from all areas, but we are most excited about candidates who work in either of the following:
Computational approaches to understanding intelligence. We are interested in candidates that seek an understanding of natural intelligence by building artiﬁcially intelligent systems that take into account neuroscience and cognitive science constraints. We seek candidates with a diverse range of computational tools and methods, including (but not limited to) machine learning, computer vision, robotics, probabilistic modeling, dynamical systems, planning, programming languages, and natural language processing. Candidates from computer science, engineering or related backgrounds that seek to develop collaborations with neuroscientists and cognitive scientists are particularly encouraged to apply. We anticipate that these positions will have afﬁliations with the new MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, the Computer Science and Artiﬁcial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM) and/or other allied units.
Cellular and systems neuroscience in animal models. We are interested in candidates that study the mechanisms of neuronal and brain function, plasticity and/or development at the molecular, cellular, circuit and/or systems level using cutting edge neurogenetic, molecular, electrophysiological or imaging technologies. Candidates with an interest in mechanisms underlying brain disorders or aging are particularly attractive. Afﬁliation with the Broad Institute is possible.
Successful applicants are expected to develop and lead independent, internationally competitive research programs and to share in our commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate education by teaching courses and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. PhD must be completed by start day of employment and some postdoctoral training is preferred.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Psychology at the College of the Holy Cross is searching to fill two full-time tenure-track appointments to begin in August 2020: one in the area of developmental psychology, the other in the area of animal behavior and cognition.
For the developmental psychology position, we are particularly interested in a colleague who approaches human developmental processes from a sociocultural framework , and could include a teacher/scholar who specializes in the socioemotional development of children, adolescents, adults, or aging populations.
For the animal behavior and cognition position, our particular interest is in a colleague who approaches their scholarly work from an evolutionary/comparative framework . The candidate’s research may focus on the study of small animals or non-human primates, and may provide comparisons to human populations. Scholars who use small animals in their research program will have access to a vivarium, scheduled to be fully renovated during summer 2020, that offers state-of-the-art housing, behavioral testing spaces, and a wet lab.
The successful candidates for either position will be expected to teach intermediate-level courses (including but not limited to those currently in our curriculum; http://holycross.edu/academics/programs/psychology ); advanced courses in their specialty area; and service courses such as Introduction to Psychology , Statistics , or Research Methods . Courses offered by the successful candidate in the animal behavior and cognition position may also serve as electives for the interdisciplinary minor in neuroscience (for examples, visit http://holycross.edu/academics/programs/neuroscience ).
This position carries a 3-2 teaching load with a full-salary one-semester research leave prior to tenure review, and generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. Tenure-track faculty are eligible for reimbursement of relocation costs and travel support within the College’s published policies.
